kingiguana Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) OK, this is a Jada 57 Suburban they call it, I say its a panel van. Or perhaps a Pie Wagon. This is 1/64th scale, from thier Old School series from a few years back. I bought this new about 2002-3? I cant remember for sure. Anyways it was flat black with flames, or perhaps scallops, with the wide whites and red steelies with moons. I got it home and took it apart the first night. I stripped the paint, and repainted it with duplicolor,....both ford colors I think,...again it was a few years ago. I took some wheels a tires from a Hotwheels. The PIE WAGON decal came from the Revell Thames, I just used the pie wagon from the Simple Simon decal. Then I put this away, unfinished, and they it sat in a box, until a few nights ago, I decided to finish it. I used bare metal on the front window/visor, and alclad on the headlights, and tailights. Its not perfect, but I still like it. I only wish they made a kit of this in 1/25th. Enjoy ! PS the macro mode brought out some dust specks that look huge in 1/64th.

James W Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Fun!!! I like to get small once in a while too. Are you sure those aren't snow flakes? Looks like the ground is covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) KI, Jimmy Flintstone makes that body in resin, a perfect fit for AMT's 55/7 pickup kits. It's a nice clean casting that builds up nice without any fit hassles, makes a great lookin model. Just like yours!

kingiguana Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks guys, I'll have to look into the Flintstone piece. Besides 1/25th plastic, customizing diecast is another hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
